Description
Apache and Quinn Alvarez continue uplifting the Latinx community through color with three Spanish spots for State Farm, just in time to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.
The spots depict the various ways you can save money without sacrificing what you love, thanks to State Farm’s payment options. From the thought of canceling beloved dance classes and family cookouts to saying farewell to soccer television packages, State Farm’s representative shows up to remind its clients that their low prices can adjust to any budget, followed by their famous tagline, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.”
A Los Angeles native with Chicano roots that inspired him to push the film industry to better reflect the city he loves, Alvarez began color grading several Super Bowl commercials and celebrated Cannes Lions wins with clients including Xfinity and Burger King. After working alongside directing heavyweights such as Paul Hunter, Melina Matsoukas, and Eric Wareheim at PrettyBird Pictures, coloring projects for the influential work of Pharrell Williams, Travis Scott, Major Lazer, Tierra Whack, and others, Alvarez found himself in search for a new home that embraced the works of people of color throughout the film industry. Ultimately leading him to minority-owned Apache Digital, he found his comfort in sharing similar walks of life with a team that offers relatable insight into what it takes to build the perfect work collaboration.
“Apache is definitely a unique place, and it definitely comes from the top,” says Alvarez. “I sought out a minority-owned company. Steve Rodriguez, our lead colorist, Co-owner, and partner, is Cuban-American from Los Angeles, and is definitely one of the big reasons why our office culture stands out across the industry. We all know where each of us is coming from. That level of understanding is extremely helpful in making this a great place to work.”
